The series consists of textual records relating to his novels, short stories and other literary projects. The files for his first novel, "Ten Years After" ("The Time of the Juggernaut" in the United States), include drafts of the manuscript; copies of various editions of the book; contracts and royalty statements; reviews from American and British newspapers and magazines; and correspondence with editors, publishers, and readers. The latter holds letters from Hugh Maclennan, Han Suyin, David Leff (containing a lengthy critique of the book, which is based loosely in part on Leff's experiences at Unesco), Abdel Chanderli (representative of the Algerian Front for National Liberation), Martin Ennals, Cook Glassgold, Leslie Roberts and Sylvia Ostry.

The series also contains a partial draft of his unfinished second novel and the completed manuscript of his last novel, "Free of All Future". For the latter, there is correspondence with Jack McClelland, his literary agent from 1988 to 1990, and with American, British and Canadian publishers and agents. Other files hold material on his short stories including the prize-winning story, "The Cool Bool Machine"; literary notes, clippings and quotations; the Public Lending Right Commission; early stories, poems and notes; and literary correspondence.
